Let’s Get Beachy

This week’s theme at The Paper Players is to make a “Clean & Simple” Beach-Themed card, so for my #PP258 design team inspiration card, I used a watercolor abstract I had made when I was at the beach recently.

I stamped some cute little seagulls on it from the StampinUp Wetlands Stamp Set. Then I simply added a black die-cut “hello” greeting, matted the scene in black, and put on a crumb cake card stock. Voila – a clean and simple “Let’s Get Beachy” card.

Hope some of you will join us this week at The Paper Players with your interpretation of “Let’s Get Beachy!”

HaHa! I’m trying to remember also, but I think you said you couldn’t find a way to email me, so I found your email address and sent you a hello…. Was it something to do with a card? Oh well? I tell my boys I think I am getting early-onset memory loss, and they question, “Early????” Aren’t the funny?!? NOT! 🙂

Your painting is so simple and clean, yet the detail is all there. I love the way you captured the reflections of each bird in the water, Jodi. I never found doing reflections easy when it came to painting, maybe because the brush doesn’t handle the way a pencil does. In any event, I love it, I really do! :O)

I love all your beautiful watercolors and this is no exception! Perfect colors, perfect compositon, perfect card for the challenge! Love the simple use of black to make it all pop! Fabulous, my friend.
